Okinawa World is a tourist facility in Okinawa Prefecture, but in fact, there is a place in Miyazaki Prefecture that can be said to be the "land of origin".
For Okinawa World, Miyazaki Prefecture is a very closely related land.
The late Soken Oshiro, the founder of the facility, evacuated from Okinawa to the former Nango-mura, Miyazaki Prefecture (Nango, Misato-cho) during the war. Later, he learned the know-how of the tourism service industry and the spirit of hospitality from Miyazaki Kotsu (Miyazaki City) and opened the tourist facility Okinawa World in Okinawa.
In 2019, he visited the area as an employee training trip to learn about the origins of the company, and Oki said, "My own and the company's development are based on Miyazaki. I will continue to do my best for Miyazaki and pass it on to future generations."
Miyazaki Prefecture, famous for its Takachiho and Matsushima, has long been known as a rice source where delicious rice is harvested from its rich water resources and climate suitable for rice cultivation.
Misato rice in Misato-cho is said to be produced in the production area (including Misato-cho) that acquired "Special A" from the 1st year to the 3rd year in the "Rice Taste Ranking".
Delicious rice from a place that can be said to be the origin of Okinawa World.
Everyone who has visited Okinawa World and fans of Okinawa. If you like, try "Misato rice" and think about the relationship between Miyazaki and Okinawa.
